Yousef,

My friends on the Cyrix thread tell me NSM/Cyrix will release an XMi chip soon. This Cyrix XMi chip I am told, will be the beginning of the end for Intel. My Cyrix friends tell me, Intel will be begging for mercy. I'm paraphrasing a bit, buy you get the idea.

I remain a bit dubious. I think my Cyrix friends are a tad bit overly optimistic. Like a man wondering in the desert, they see water up ahead, but it always disappears when they get there.

I searched for news articles on the XMi chip, but didn't really find many that were helpful.

The Cyrix gang tell me it may run up to 600mhz and could compete with the Xeon chip.

Have you heard much about this XMi chip?
If so, I would appreciate your opinion or comments on it.

Thanks

Dale

I just listened to the AMD conference call(first time for me) and have a question for you if you don't mind. On the call, much emphasis was placed on the "fact" that AMD's die size for comparable chips was much smaller.

Do you agree with this? If so, why is it? Is the extra size poor design, chips not really comparable, or what?

Thanks---Andy
